The Peace Abbey has a rich tradition of comforting the afflicted, afflicting the comfortable and alienating its funding sources.

Introduction to the Peace Abbey and Stonewalk America 1999, Ireland 2000 and England 2001.

Peace Abbey Morning Meeting featured on Hallmark Channel. Hallmark crew traveled from Chicago to Sherborn to film the passing of the blessing bowl at the Peacemakers Table.

TV news clip of the "Change the Name" protest that included arrests at the Massachusetts State House. The agency name was eventually changed to remove the word "retardation" and Corty Woods, who is the first member of the Life Experience School, was recognized during the ceremony at the Statehouse for his act of civil disobedience. He later conducted a workshop on civil disobedience for individuals who wanted the agency name changed too. This guy is a real hero!!

On November 10th, author and photographer of the book I'M DOWN WITH YOU, Jagatjoti Khalsa, spoke to a group of parents and kids with Down Syndrome in the livingroom of the Peace Abbey and signed copies on behalf of those photographed. Throughout the evening, Jagatjoti gracefully weaved humor with heartfelt stories and expressions of gratitude in a self effacing style that left everyone appreciative and empowered and ready to, in Jerry Ruben's words, DO IT!

Watching and listening to the way Jagatjoti's mind works was a delight as he spoke about how he arrives at an idea or feeling about a certain issue or topic (Down Syndrome) and how he then gathers himself to give it form. Jagatjoti is remarkably calibrated and hardwired in such a way that the universe seemingly can't resist bending toward the dream he holds in his heart -- and the results are life changing, not only for himself, but for others he touches and serves. He is in many respects a modern day Heyókha -- a Lakota medicine man of sorts who turns everything around and upside down and inside out, in contradiction to convention, so things can be truly understood on the wings of joy, laughter and love.

His book I'M DOWN WITH YOU is a blessing beyond measure to the Down Syndrome community and beyond.

THE PERFECT GIFT FOR YOUR VEGETARIAN FRIEND

The book about Emily the Cow's story is NOW available at the Abbey Gift Shop for $20.00 (all proceeds fund the care of her memorial). It is also available online at Barnes & Noble, Borders Books and Amazon.com. It chronicals Emily's life and is a beautiful story of how an animal that was about to become little more than hamburger meat, instead became food-for-thought for animal lovers

throughout America and else where in the world.

A special thanks to Dan Everett and countless others for making it possible for Emily's story to be told in book form. It truly takes a village of animal lovers to produce a book like this! And hats-off to the MetroWest Daily News for embracing this story with such passion and conviction. The MetroWest Newsroom saved Emily's life.
